Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does Marcel Deiss use field blends (complantation) instead of single varietals?
- The estate believes that planting and co-fermenting multiple grape varieties in the same plot lets the terroir itself, rather than any single grape, define the wine's character and complexity.
- Is Domaine Marcel Deiss certified organic or biodynamic?
- Yes. The estate has been Ecocert-certified organic since 1997 and Demeter-certified biodynamic since 1998, farming its 32 hectares across Bergheim and neighboring Alsace Grand Crus without herbicides or synthetic inputs.
- Are Marcel Deiss wines suitable for pairing with Japanese cuisine?
- Yes, their dry, mineral-driven cuvées such as the Riesling and Complantation bottlings pair exceptionally well with sushi, sashimi, and other delicate Japanese dishes.
